Record revenues at Manchester City

Manchester City have announced club-record revenues of £715million in their latest annual accounts, alongside profits of £73.8m.

City’s revenue has grown £2.3m since last year, while their profit is down slightly on the £80.4m they posted from the club’s treble-winning campaign, which was boosted significantly by prize money from winning the Champions League.

The report also highlights that City have made £405m in player sales over the past five years. That includes £139m for the current period — up until June 30 2024 — an increase on the £121.7m from the previous year. This, the club says, has driven the club’s profits.

Matchday revenue has also risen £3.7m to £75.6m, despite playing five fewer home matches compared to the treble-winning season.

The club also say City’s men’s and women’s teams in 2023-24 were watched by an audience of 694 million across all competitions while the club’s social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube and TikTok, reached more than 10 billion people.

The report is published as the club faces a decision over 130 charges by the Premier League for alleged financial wrongdoing.

One of the headline figures from this report is the £139m made from player sales, which suggests that the club is in a healthy position in terms of the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules.

It's no deal say Spurs insiders over Taiwanese takeover

Senior figures at Tottenham Hotspur insisted on Friday that they had not been informed of any deal to sell Daniel Levy’s stake in the club. A business group, Eight Sports Capital — which is said to include a billionaire Taiwanese financier — claimed that it had an agreement in place to buy a 24.99 per cent stake in ENIC, the club’s majority owners, from Levy, who owns 29.88 per cent. The Times has been told Ng Wing Fai and Brooklyn Earick form part of the group, having both been linked previously to potential takeovers of the Premier League club. The Taiwanese businessman, Richard Tsai, is also said to be part of the consortium. He is reportedly worth £7 billion.  Last year Earick, the former DJ and tech entrepreneur, was part of an attempted £4.5 billion takeover, which was “unequivocally rejected” by Spurs.  An ENIC spokesperson said: “We can confirm that neither ENIC nor THFC are aware of any sale by Daniel Levy’s Family Trust of its minority stake in ENIC, THFC’...

Reports about Charlton sale exaggerated

Reports have appeared in The Guardian and elsewhere that Charlton has been put up for sale. Richard Cawley is an authoritative local journalist who runs a South London Sport substack site.  He reached out to the club yesterday evening to ask for comment on The Guardian’s article. Early indications from the club have been that nothing has changed since the story about them seeking investment, except that it is now a different company doing it. Charlton have since managed to consolidate their place in the Championship, avoiding an instant return to League One, with their women’s side promoted to the WSL, returning to the top flight for the first time since 2007, although staying there is likely to be costly. It would be counter-intuitive for owners Global Football Partners not to progress the club when looking for investment, that the focus remains on driving it forward, that their spend this summer is in line with long-term planning and will see an increase in wages spent on players...
